I have hesitated to read this book since autobiographies are very biased and this is one with the worse reputation. Knowing this I questioned his writings for which is true and which is his desires. Given this I read this book so I could read a new book on Hood by Stephen M Hood, a distant relative of John Bell Hood. In Advance and Retreat, John Bell Hood is defending decisions during his tenure in the Atlanta Campaign and Nashville Campaign. To prove his defense he included copies of show more letters from individuals who could verify his actions. show less
